Abstract :

In the urban era, the promotion of care and social respect to protect the weak is of enormous importance. The present article aims to study how the residents of Sanandaj treat strangers and what factors influence such treatment. This was a survey research which employed a questionnaire to collect needed data. The research population consisted of all the residents of Sanandaj who were above 15 years old of which 360 individuals were selected via a cluster and systematic random sampling technique. Pearson correlation and path analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that there was a significant association between the activity of choice in urban spaces and interaction with strangers. It was also found that there was a difference between single and married individuals in their treatment of strangers. Furthermore, it was found that variables such as the activity of choice in urban spaces, sense of respect, and general trust were significantly related to interaction with strangers.
